 b. Originator: Mr. Robert Hammond, Chair, Finance Process Review Committee,

3. REQUESTED CHANGE:

 a. Title: ADC 290, Administrative Revisions to DLMS Supplements 810L, Logistics 

Bill, 812L, Logistics Bill Adjustment Request Reply and 812R, Logistics Bill Adjustment 

Request 

 b. Description of Change: 

1. This change modifies the DLMS Supplements (DS) 810L, 812L and 812R to 

incorporate administrative updates for consistency among the DLMS Supplements. This 

change includes some DLMS enhancements, which may not be received or understood 

by the recipient’s automated processing system. 

2. This proposal also provides procedures for use of the Transportation Control 

Number (TCN) in logistics bills as an enhancement. Suppliers may bill on partial 

shipments with identical quantities under the same document number, which makes the 

bills appear as duplicates. This problem has increased, since DLA Distribution Standard 

System confirms shipments based on partial shipments and DLA Enterprise Business 

System bills based on these confirmations, (ARO) vice the material release order (A5_). 

Including the TCN in logistics bills will resolve that problem. 

c. Procedures: 

 1. Revise 810L, 812L and 812R DLMS Supplements as follows:

2. Revise DLMS 4000.25-M Volume 5 paragraph C2.15 as follows: 

C2.15 INCLUSION OF TRANSPORTATION CONTROL NUMBERS (TCN) ON 

DLMS LOGISTICS BILLS. Suppliers may bill on partial shipments with identical 

quantities under the same document number, which makes the bills appear as 

duplicates. Including the TCN on the DLMS Logistics Bill will resolve that problem. 

Partial shipment codes are part of the Transportation Control Number structure in 

accordance with DoD 4500.9-R. Accordingly, reporting activities shall include the TCN 

in DLMS Logistics Bill transactions. This is a DLMS enhancement, which may be 

implemented without prior authorization.
5. ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES:

 a. Advantages: 

1. Incorporates administrative updates to DS 810L, 812L and DS 812R to ensure 

consistency among the Supplements. 

2. Provides guidance on the use of TCNs in logistics bills. 

 b. Disadvantages: None.
